One of my pet peeves is, when my husband leaves talcum powder over the bathroom floor, and doesn't drape the towel over the towel rail so that it can dry off properly. Edited to correct typos. Edited by Poesy, Friday, 13. March 2009, 12:44.

Now this will make me sound seriously OCD ...but one of my pet peeves is when my husband washes up, he mixes all the cutlery up together in the cutlery drainer on the sink. I put all the spoons in one compartment, all the knives in another, the forks in the third and serving spoons etc. in the 4th...I always have to go back after he's done it and put them right!!

We live just off a winding, hilly road with a number of sharp curves. It is a main road between town and a very large and popular lake and so is heavily traveled. Our pet peeve: while we are traveling at normal speed, folks will pull out of a driveway and s l o w l y drive their vehicle a few tens of meters just to turn into another driveway. And they couldn't wait the three seconds for us to pass by!!

You sound like my wife. We don't separate the cutlery in the drainer, but woe betide me if I put the vegemite jar back in the wrong place. Sounds like a woman to me. |

My husband also puts the pots/pans etc. back in the cupboard in the wrong place when he dries and puts them away! Drives me nuts...

Tactical error in the kitchen is a long-established device for ensuring permanent expulsion from it. Washing coloured garments with white can have similar beneficial outcomes in the utility room. |

I don't mind if my husband keeps out of the kitchen, as long as he does such yucky stuff as unblocking the drains!! |

I do mind if my husband stays out of the kitchen. He's a better cook than me except when it comes to baking pies, then, as Casey Ryback memorably said, nobody beats me in the kitchen. KatyA |

LIke the bloke who'd been warned to be very careful when removing the U-Bend under the kitchen sink. You know, all the yucky bacteria, old slime, the last dish wash. So very carefully he undid the plastic rims, and with a great sense of pride at not spilling a drop, took out the U-Bend and stood up straight and tall, his wife gazing at him admiringly. Then he poured it carefully down the sink. |

It reminds me of the priest who, during the Holy Saturday ceremonies, poured the newly blessed Holy Water into the wrong basin and it all gurgled down the drain beautifully. |

My pet peeve is women who can't: iron clothes properly [There is NOTHING worse than a badly ironed shirt!!] who repeatedly iron trousers without using a damp cloth to prevent them from shining and to iron proper creases! fold clothes properly wash up properly Women who give me cause to think: "Didn't your mother teach you anything???!!!" |

Oh, and add to the list teachers who think teaching children to do joined-up writing before learning proper letter formation achieves better results, and Childless spinster Deputy Headteachers who try and talk to me as if I am some subspecies of parent! |

I really can't help it. I guess because I can do these things to perfection, I expect it from others. I dunno. |
